HOWA questions here

Howa 1500
Broken extractor.
Easy to replace myself or send back to Legacy?

I do as much as I can myself. That's just me. If I didn't think I could do it right, I'd send it back.

Off to the interwebs I go I guess.

Is Howa planning on having a booth at the NRA annual meeting in Dallas this May? I am looking for a new rifle and would like to talk to them.

I've got a Howa 1500 in 6.5 cm with 20" barrel. Are these threaded?

What does the end of the barrel look like? Is there a knurled section on the end? If so it is probably a cap that should screw off and reveal threads for the suppressor.

Sorry for the double post. I have been here before, but it has been a while.

Yes. They are always at that show.

it was a matter of sales. the demand for stainless barreled actions died off, and we can cerakote in house and many people just wanted the look of stainless.

I love the stainless rifles , I believe they get most of them across the pond ,

Any idea if hinged floor plate or flush fit magazines are in the works for the mini series?

I like the Jefferson outdoors bottom metal , but I do wish that Howa would do the minis like the superlites !

Thanks Randy!

Hello , I love the Howa minis and superlites but I wish they would come out with more calibers in the mini and Superlite, A 257 Roberts in that Superlite would be fantastic !!!

 

[Hunter2405]

Why did they quit making the 222 Remington and the 300 blackout those are perfect rounds for close range medium size game with the accuracy of the minis !!!!!

I just bought a Howa M1500 in 6.5 CM (yea, I was called to the dark side). This particular setup had 5 round box magazine. I got it home and saw they also included the factory floorplate which might be nice too. I pulled the magazine out and whoops, it was for a .300 WM.
I contacted Legacy Sports and they promptly, with no drama took care of it and sent out a replacement magazine right away. Very nice. I'll be taking to the range next weekend and trying out a few different rounds.

That said, if anyone here has this rifle in a .300 WM and has the setup to use a box magazine, I have a free spare magazine if you want to pay for shipping.
